France & Iberia 2018

“A lot of us first aspired to far-ranging travel and exotic adventure early in our teens; these ambitions are, in fact, adolescent in nature, which I find an inspiring idea…Thus, when we allow ourselves to imagine as we once did, we know, with a sudden jarring clarity, that if we don’t go right now, we’re never going to do it. And we’ll be haunted by our unrealized dreams and know that we have sinned against ourselves gravely.”
― Tim Cahill
 
La vuelta de Francía, España y Portugal

On this cycle tour I plan to ride from Northern Germany along the North Sea and Atlantic coasts down to Tarifa and Gibraltar, then along the Mediterranean coast to Barcelona and through France to Strasbourg, to cross the Rhine and wander back home along the Rhine, Main, Fulda and Weser rivers.
